This looks like it was already fixed in Python 3.7:

$ ./python.exe
Python 3.7.0a3+ (heads/master:7f7de371f9, Jan  6 2018, 21:35:03)
[Clang 9.0.0 (clang-900.0.39.2)] on darwin

>>> from dis import dis
>>> def f():
...   x = ()
...   y = 2, 4
...
>>> dis(f)
  2           0 LOAD_CONST               1 (())
              2 STORE_FAST               0 (x)

  3           4 LOAD_CONST               2 ((2, 4))
              6 STORE_FAST               1 (y)
              8 LOAD_CONST               0 (None)
             10 RETURN_VALUE
